The percentage employed indicates those who have entered office positions, trades, stores, and miscellaneous occupations. It is encouraging to note that unemployment is no longer a major problem among our high school graduates. In the year 1931, only 6.9% of our graduates were able to go directly from high school to employment, while in 1937 42% have found employment before October 15th. It seems fair to assume that additional members of the class have been employed since that date. The leading employment for the graduating class of 1937 was office work, which attracted 27.1% of our graduates. Guidance and placement of graduates is definitely a function of our high school, and registration forms are sent to all students unemployed with the thought of having on file a list of those students whose services we might offer to employers. It is our experience that not all of the unemployed are interested in employment because of home conditions and other interests.
